Sometimes that's the moment in the day you can do these things without getting interrupted (in my office, anyway).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Not just to make me stay later? Well, I suppose that's possible.

That is an unfortunate side effect.

Yeah, I don't really get any serious work done until after 5. No phone, IM, emails popping up . . .
And am trying hard not to go off on cow-worker who insists on scheduling meetings before I have time to actually get work done, so that calls with the customer are me basically working through the document with them on the phone. On todays call, I said "I'm in meetings for the rest of the day and out tomorrow, but will send the two documents that you sent yesterday out for internal review on Monday, and the four documents that we just finished I will send out on Tuesday" The stupid bench scheduled a meeting for Tuesday at noon. Even if I could get it out before the meeting, they will not have reviewed it by then and then they will be working through it on the call. When I pointed it out, she said "they're hoping that you get it done by COB Monday" Good forking luck.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Here I sit, waiting for the 8:30 retrospective meeting to begin. 8 minutes late, and the big room full of developers has not connected to the meeting. La la la.

Yeah, that's why I try to get to the office before most of my coworkers. I'm the annoying person who's filling up your inbox for the start of your day.

Ha ha, no meeting, they just didn't tell anyone. They're damn lucky I didn't have to set an alarm for this.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I owe a couple people here emails. I've seen them, and really appreciate them, but I haven't had the spoons to respond this week.

Tea: It's very quiet today. TCG has today off because he had so many after work meetings this week. So he is ferrying ltc to and from school and to her hair appointment today, and I'm being a complete sloth.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My body is not wanting to today.
The pollen I am most allergic to has been high the last week. Temps dropped and rain came in over night which makes my fibromyalgia worse. Plus the multiple threats of gun violence that were made this week at mac's School. Sleep and hiding is all my brain and body want.
But I am trudging though because boss is supposedly coming in today and I should have everything through today run and posted by end of day so pay can be submitted early Monday.
